"Fitzgerald writes simply, but in combination with Peterson's images, her words carry force. It's a political statement, but one that flows from passion and love." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Amazingly inclusive." --Kirkus Reviews "Shatters monolithic depictions of motherhood. By depicting love and security beyond a White, professionalized class, the book allows children of different backgrounds to see their family lives reflected authentically." --Colorlines "A staple for any parent who wants to redefine gender roles, and raise their child in a more inclusive, sex-positive world where all work is valued." --Bust "Wonderful." --MSN Lifestyle "Beautifully illustrated.

the book provides an expanded picture of working moms and challenges head on the idea that only certain jobs are analogous with positive parenting." --Feministing "This is a book that takes more than one stigma about women and work and chucks them right out the window." --Julie Danielson, Kirkus "Beautiful." --"Sex Gets Real" Podcast "Inspired and inspiring." --Midwest Book Review "Beautifully written and illustrated, How Mamas Love Their Babies provides a useful tool for parents who do stigmatized work to talk with their children about it in affirming and healthy ways." --Crystal DeBoise, LCSW "All children should see their mamas reflected in their storybooks. This is a gift to not only sex workers and their families but to all who may need a better understanding of how stripping/sex work is labor, deserving of respect and dignity." --Juliana Piccillo, editor, Red Umbrella Babies "This is the mothering book I've always dreamed of! How Mamas Love Their Babies shifts our narrow definition of what a mother is, what a mother does, what a mother looks like, and what caring for our babies looks like.
